All You Need to Know About Vegan Paint

Vegan Paint Is Not Just Cruelty-Free – It’s Better For YOU Too!

Considering a room make-over? Looking at paint colours? Before you even think about colour, have you thought about what goes into paint? You might want to consider vegan paint when you take into account your own health, as well as that of animals!

Why?

Because ‘normal’ paint contains all sorts of animal ingredients that you might not know about – for example:-

• Casein – protein derived from cow’s milk
• Shellac – made from beetles
• Fish oil
• Ox gall
• Beeswax

Plus, ‘normal’ paint contains VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which are toxic. When you use normal paint, you are releasing toxic chemicals into your home.

Benefits of using vegan paint

Vegan paints are typically made from natural or plant-based material and are becoming increasingly popular because they are better for your health and cruelty-free.

Using or switching to vegan paint has many benefits, not only to animals and the environment, but also to your health. One of the leading vegan paint brands is Victory Colours, recognised for being ethical and eco-friendly whilst providing that same high quality and durability of any standard paint.

Here are some of the benefits to take into consideration if you are considering vegan paint.

• More sustainable for the environment
• Uses no animal products, no harm to animals, which means it’s cruelty-free
• Lower levels of VOC mean a less toxic home environment, and fewer pollutants released into the atmosphere
• Less odour
• Helps to improve air quality within your home

But Are Vegan Paints Really Better?

Vegan paint is better for animals and for your health. But what about the quality of the paint?

Just because a paint is vegan doesn’t mean it’s a good quality paint!

Vegan paints can still look beautiful and provide you with an easy application – but they may not all be suitable for different kinds of surfaces, or may need additional primers before application.

You still need to look at reviews and make sure vegan paint will work for you. For example,

• Will it cover well
• Does it stick to plaster properly or does it peel off (check the application instructions before you buy).
• Does it look good when it’s dry
• Is it easy to wash
• Will it last – is it tough and durable
• What is the customer service like

If you are looking for truly ethical paint for your home, Victory Colours paints are animal and cruelty-free. Their paints come with additional benefits of being toxic-free, eco-friendly, low odour and premium quality. This brand has built up an exceptional reputation after developing their very own eco-friendly, vegan paint formula that is durable and has washable properties. Whilst it may be more costly than other brands, over time it works out cheaper as it will not need touching up or repainting for a much longer period of time.

Summary

While it can be important to find the right paint to fit the aesthetics of your home, it is also just as important to choose a product that brings no threat to animal life or your own health. It can be hard to find a fully vegan paint with all the benefits of a standard paint, but thankfully it IS possible!
